Shen Qingzhi frowned and said: "But the Suwei cavalry was created by aristocratic families. The reason is that the military merits earned by these servants can be passed on to the children of these nominal aristocratic families. It is impossible to really disband them, right?" .”
Shen Tianzi shook his head: "The affairs of the aristocratic family are not as simple as you think. Just like the Feilong Building of Suwei Cavalry, it was basically established by the Yu family as the main body, and it represents the interests of his Yu family, because this Hui Yu Gong himself also joined the army, so Yu Changqing's army was able to get the opportunity to fight in the first battle. Later, the Wang family, Xie family, and Xi family's Su Wei army had not yet followed up. Yu Changqing's army was completely wiped out. , there will be no reinforcements later, doesn’t that mean this?”
Shen Qingzhi opened his eyes wide: "Aren't you afraid of being punished afterwards?"
Shen Tianzi sneered: "Don't these high-ranking families do this kind of struggle for power and profit in daily life? Isn't it because of the internal fighting among these high-ranking families that the mafia surfaced and became known to the world? Huh? Now that the mafia is gone, it doesn’t mean that these high-ranking families will become one. They will still fight and undermine each other. "
Having said this, Shen Tianzi sighed: "Qingzhi, we must understand our status. Our Shen family is a family from Wu. For many years, we have been suppressed by these families with overseas Chinese surnames from the north. If not, we would How could we be confused for a moment and help Tianshi Dao create chaos? Now that Brother Jinu has finally turned us around, we must seize this opportunity."
Shen Qingzhi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice to the sergeants behind him: "Everyone, please retreat. Third brother and I will just observe the enemy's situation here."
Dozens of shield guards and crossbowmen behind them bowed and retreated. Even the three eight-stone bull-crossbows returned to the shield. The big shield was raised again, leaving only a gap for the two of them to withdraw at any time. , the two of them stood more than twenty steps in front of the shield formation, standing out particularly.
Shen Tianzi sighed: "Qingzhi, I won't hide it from you, our own brothers. This time Queen Wang and Liu Changshi sent us here just to give our Shen family soldiers a chance to make meritorious deeds. I guess they also followed Su The own troops in the guard army gave the same order. If the Yu family's Feilongzhuan wanted to make a contribution and charge first, let them charge. It is their ability to win alone, but such a result may have been in the hands of Queen Wang. It’s as expected.”
Shen Qingzi sighed: "You mean, Queen Wang and the others used the armored cavalry to destroy the Yu family's army?"
Shen Tianzi shook his head: "I didn't say that either, but it's impossible for Yu Changqing's men to win the first victory. They themselves had a chance to withdraw, but they saw that we eliminated the enemy's vanguard. Later, he came back to fight again. It can only be said that Yu Changqing misjudged the situation, was eager to achieve success, and failed to establish a good relationship with other troops, which led to his defeat. He probably didn't understand this until he died, but it was already late."
Shen Qingzhi nodded: "So in the end, he eliminated this group of armored cavalry and died in the battle himself. This is an explanation. This will give Yu Yue a chance to rebuild the Yu family's army in the future, right?"
Shen Tianzi said seriously: "Yes, you finally understand this. The world has changed. In the past, the high-ranking families only needed to control the power of the court, and everyone did not need to engage in troops. But since the Xie family established the Beifu soldiers, After relying on the Beifu soldiers to seize power, every family had this idea. Especially after Brother Jinu established the rule that no one can be promoted without merit, and no official can be served without a promotion. Not only us soldiers, but also those who The sons of aristocratic families also have to rely on military merit to maintain their titles. Now that they have no ability to go into battle on their own, they rely on stuffing their capable servants into the guard army in order to gain military merit."
Shen Qingzhi laughed: "The servants of the aristocratic family are not weak. If they can join the army, it would not be a bad thing. Just like these members of the Yu family, wouldn't they be able to compete with the armored cavalry? It's just that they A few teams can build a building, but thousands of troops cannot be afforded by a certain aristocratic family."
Shen Tianzi glanced around and said in a low voice: "Qingzhi, please be more careful in the future. If aristocratic families want to take power in the future, they may not only have to form their own family troops. For us generals who are ready to take charge of the army, We will also recruit more, this is our opportunity.”
Shen Qingzhi frowned slightly: "This is not good. We are following Brother Jinu, and we are also a wealthy family in Wu. These wealthy families have bullied us a lot over the years, so why should we serve them at this time?"
Shen Tianzi sneered and said: "Yes, the aristocratic family is our enemy, but now it can be our help. In the court, we have no power of our own. If we don't have the help of top aristocratic families like the Queen and Wang, then we will be nothing. As a local tycoon in Wu, the power in the court, the expansion of the army, and the return of the land have nothing to do with us."
"Brother Jinu is our benefactor, so we serve him with all our strength. We participate fully in the battles he fights. This is what we should do, but outside of fighting, shouldn't we be more careful? Although meritorious service on the battlefield is what counts. The only rule for obtaining benefits is to make meritorious service or not. If you have the opportunity to make meritorious service, shouldn’t you strive for it yourself?”
Shen Qingzhi nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, the opportunity for our Shen family to be independent here this time is given by the Queen and the Queen. Is this what you mean?"
Shen Tianzi nodded: "You can say it like this. Here in Xicheng, Tan Shao was originally the coach and Rong Zu was the vanguard. Our Shen family supposedly had no chance. Even if we made meritorious deeds, we would only be second-rate. But now Su Wei The cavalry is here, and so is the fourth child. Then we have the opportunity to make great contributions. Brother Jinu has too many brothers. The credit of the Tan family left by Brother Pingling must be guaranteed. Rongzu will be the future general of the Liu family. We also need to support him. Although our Shen family has received great favor from him, we have never been his top priority for meritorious deeds. Even Big Stone and Little Stone are his apprentices, and they are not comparable to us."
Shen Qingzhi gritted his teeth: "But, if we serve the Queen like this, is it good for Brother Jinu? What will he think of us in the future?"
Shen Tianzi raised his eyebrows coldly and said sternly: "That is not something we should consider. The Queen and Queen Liu Changshi have won for us the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. All we have to do is work hard. Besides, there has always been a relationship between them. It’s a monolithic piece, there won’t be any contradictions, just in case..."
